EvANESCENT BEAUTY.


The girl leaned against the tall
gate post, and looked down the street.
She did not answer but seemed to be
thinking, and the tears glistcned in
her eyes. She was very beautiful
girl. Beauty makes it's appearance
in some women's lives like a buoy on
the water. They catch sight OF it,
come abreast of it, and then leave it
behind. 1t is not flower of slow
growth, but opens suddenly upon
them and then fades forever. Mar
garet had been homely child, with
large irregular features. A good
observer might see that she would
not be a permanently beautiful
woman-"fine looking" even ':hand-
some" would. perhaps, however apply
for some years. But now she bad
caught up with the beauty, as it were.
1t rested upon her, with her, with rs
palpable q glory as the late afternoon
sunshine in which she stood.-Bessie
